Hello,

I am maintaining a pair of database servers on CentOS 5 running Posgtres 8.1.18 and Slony 1.2.22 (1 master to 1 slave). I would like to upgrade the database to Postgres 9.0, but I do not have the option of doing a standard drop and restore. Therefore, I'd like to use Slony to replicate from 8.1 to 9.0, then do a switchover.

The release notes for Slony 1.2.22 says it added explicit support for Postgres 9.0 so I'm cautiously optimistic I can do it. But is it a good idea? Any gotchas I should be concerned about? 

By the way, I could not find a search interface for the slony mail list archives. Does one exist?

Thanks,
